Starting next season, McLaren will race as the McLaren Mastercard Formula 1 Team. This is a new chapter for both the partnership and fans around the globe. This expanded collaboration is all about bringing fans closer than ever, with exclusive behind-the-scenes access and unforgettable experiences.
As part of this, Mastercard will launch Team Priceless. This a global initiative designed to put Papaya fans at the heart of the action. Throughout the race calendar, selected fans will enjoy curated activities such as hot laps on track, driver meet-and-greets, and Priceless Experiences that celebrate the host city’s local culture. Details on how fans can join Team Priceless will be revealed soon.
“There is no one more important to us than our fans. This next chapter with Mastercard is a promise to our Papaya Family: we will keep putting fans first, bringing them closer to the team, and offering incredible experiences. Mastercard is a fantastic partner who shares our passion and values, and I can’t wait to see Team Priceless come to life in 2026.” Said Zak Brown, CEO, McLaren Racing.
“From the start, our partnership has been about putting fans in pole position. Becoming the Official Naming Partner takes that to the next level. McLaren stands for innovation, precision, and performance – values we share as we deliver Priceless Experiences. Team Priceless is the perfect reflection of that, and fans have plenty to look forward to this season and beyond.” added Raja Rajamannar, Chief Marketing & Communications Officer, Mastercard.
